SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) will
hold an online workshop for body armor manufacturers to provide updates
on its standards and conformity assessment activities related to
ballistic-resistant body armor. NIJ will discuss recent addenda to NIJ
Standard 0101.07, ``Ballistic Resistance of Body Armor'', and NIJ
Standard 0123.00, ``Specification for NIJ Ballistic Protection Levels
and Associated Test Threats''. The NIJ Compliance Testing Program (CTP)
will update program participants on the initial implementation of
testing body armor to NIJ Standard 0101.07 (``07'') and the anticipated
timeline for publication of the NIJ Compliant Products List (CPL) for
those ``07'' armor models. The NIJ CTP will also discuss ongoing
administration of the NIJ CPL for armor compliant with NIJ Standard
0101.06 (``06'') and continued Follow-up Inspection and Testing (FIT)
for those ``06'' armor models. Potential revisions to NIJ CTP program
requirements will also be discussed, including FIT testing procedures
for ``07'' armor models listed on the NIJ CPL, disclosure of
information about ballistic materials used to manufacture body armor
submitted to the NIJ CTP for certification, and labeling requirements,
among others. NIJ will also discuss potential changes to how
information is displayed on the NIJ Compliant Products List and how it
anticipates future updates to NIJ standards and NIJ CTP program
requirements will be communicated.
The workshop will be presented as an online webinar with
opportunities for attendees to ask questions. To register for the
